Dear Santa

[Trent]

Dear Santa,

I thought about what I'd ask you for a while now. I thought about asking for a Red Ryder BB gun but I outgrew those when I was young. Also, BB guns are cheap. And you owe me.

The way I see it you have about 30 years of catching up to do, since the last time I sat on your lap was ... 30 years ago. 30 years worth of presents at (say) a modest $120 per year compounded annually at 7.5% is $13,964.

Which is right about the right amount to cover what I want.

Because all I want for Christmas is an M240 Bravo.

Thank you Santa.

For a semi auto? Wow. I've seen full auto Lewis Guns go for not much more. But then you have to be into old WWI stuff...

 

[Trent]

Yeah it's a bit steep for my taste. That's $6K more than the DShK cost me.

Yeah Santa! I saw an engraved 1st gen SAA at the gun show this past weekend, I sure would like.. my wife put her foot down on 18k so it's up to you..

I hope you have better luck than me. My sights aren't anywhere near as high and I've been waiting 50+/- years for a 4"bbl, nickel plated, pearl gripped S&W Model 29.

Shoot, I'd be happy to just stop getting bitched at for buying a cheap one.

Santa?

And here I was going to ask for world peace and an end to hunger.

Holy cow, can you imagine the ammount of ammo you would burn through with that thing? Unless it was a .22 I would only take it out only on special ocasions..Nice gun though.

My local public access station had a "Santa call in" where kids could call the station on the air, and Santa himself would listen to children's toy requests.
At the tender age of 13, I tried for a while to get through the line, with the sole intention of asking Santa for a semi-automatic UZI. Unfortunately the line was busy, so of course I never got the Uzi.
On a side note, make sure to see Rare Exports, a devilishly funny take on the Santa legend...

As long as we're talking about Santa... it seems fitting to leave this here:

Ho ho ho.......ha ha ha......you're on my list, another one of those self centered entitlement mentalities.

Forget it kid, you'll shoot your eye out with that thing.

Santa is an international official. That's even worse than Federal.

Well that went down hill fast.
